"Carlos, do you really want to bypass the general and negotiate peace with the troll?" After hearing Carlos' description, Grain was a little at a loss.
"How is it possible? One troll weighs at least two hundred pounds, and sixty two-hundred-pound gold jewelry, do you think those trolls can get it?" Carlos enlightened Grain.
"Then..." Glenn still didn't understand Carlos's intention.
"Trolls still respect the dead of their own kind and will not touch the funerary objects in the tomb." Carlos continued to enlighten Grain.
Young Master, I am completely devoted to the Barov family. Just tell me what you want me to do. Grain looked at Carlos innocently and said nothing.
"Whether that idiot Oka really believes what I say or not, he will send the first batch of treasures for the ten-day buffer period. I am going to take this batch for myself." Carlos really didn't want to say it so bluntly. But without Grain coordinating the nobles to unify their voices, things would not be accomplished.
"What the eldest young master means is..." Glenn suddenly became enlightened and his eyes began to glow.
"Well, the treasures in Shadraluo City must be shared by everyone in the end. I got this batch of goods myself, and it has nothing to do with the people sent by the king. Do you understand?" After Carlos finished speaking, he sat down. Si stood up after hearing this.
"Your wisdom is unparalleled by me. Please give me your instructions. Grain, a loyal friend of the Barov family, is willing to serve you."
"Find a way to unite everyone and wait for ten days to withdraw the troops outside Shadraluo ten miles." Carlos made his request.
"Do we need to keep it secret from our own people?" Glenn asked.
"Spread the news about the troll treasure in Shadralo to confuse the real purpose of what I am going to do next. As for other excuses, just leave it alone. I can rest assured that you will do the work." After Carlos said this, he signaled to Grain that he could leave. .
"Yes, sir, you can rest assured when I do this." Glass was dazzled by the imaginary jewelry and gold, and left Carlos' camp with a happy mood.
From beginning to end, Carlos never thought about making peace with the trolls. Oka Kumu agreed to Carlos' request for a sky-high compensation in exchange for peace without hesitation. In Carlos's eyes, it was just a poor performance. When competing with humans in terms of acting skills, the trolls were still the same. From the moment Tanji confirmed the true existence of the treasure she knew from the memory of her previous life, Shadralo's destruction has entered a countdown stage. However, the excavation of the cemetery cannot bypass the military faction of Aldron and the king of Aiden. The last batch of treasures must have been collected by everyone, and the Eagle's Nest Mountain and Kul Tiras also There must be a share, and the Barov family's harvest may not be as generous as expected. In more than half a year of military career, Carlos's military ability has been greatly improved, and what has improved even more is how to behave like a noble. Although Grain was there to guide things, many things still required Carlos to personally coordinate and express his position, and to deal with all kinds of people with their own evil intentions. Carlos felt that he had understood more things in the past six months than what his father had taught him through words and deeds. Sure enough, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Unless you sit in that position, you won’t understand many things. In his previous life, he was just an otaku who served as a soldier. He once thought that all officials were stupid. After being reborn in time, he also secretly despised some of the political orders issued by his father Alex. But when it was my turn, I realized that politics had nothing to do with technology, magic, or anything like that. As long as this race still had selfish desires and personal interests, things like butt deciding head would never stop happening. How could the Barov family not make small moves behind the scenes if they want to get more benefits?
The order to shrink the military strength was quickly implemented. Grain was definitely a talent. King Aiden only allowed him to be a clerk, which simply buried his talent. With blisters at the corners of his mouth, Green used the greatest enthusiasm and efficiency to convince the neutrals, unite his own people, and even get through General Odrun's work. With Carlos's personal promise, Odrun fully cooperated with Carlos' plan. Regarding the dwarves, Carlos also tried his best to tell everyone about the treasure, so Lord Metz of the Eagle's Nest Mountain once again increased his troops to the Terminator Fortress. Five hundred dwarves marched to the fortress at night and brought their own dry food, including fifty A treasure trove guard and three dwarf mages.
The power of gold coin magic is indeed huge. There are more than 4,000 people in the Terminator Fortress (after the Trolls were defeated in the Battle of Dawn, a large number of guard troops from the rear fortress were transferred to the Terminator Fortress. For the first time, the Terminator Fortress has a unified command, and the coalition forces have substance for the first time. supreme commander.
What Carlos needs to consider now is how to eat alone while carrying friendly troops.
On the eighth day after the coalition reduced its strength, Mr. Duya reported to Carlos that Oka had eliminated Shadralo's opponents, and the first batch of treasures and the heads of the priests would be delivered at midnight tonight. He hoped that Carlos would go Accept and discuss matters of peace.
"Todd, go ask Mr. Biglas Bertone to come." Carlos ordered his attendant.
Now the only secret power in Carlos's hands is the one hundred guards of Keldaron Lake Castle in Ymir's hands. If Oka Deadwood sets a trap for himself, these one hundred soldiers are likely to be wiped out, but if the Alterac Royal Knights are recruited to participate, the matter will inevitably be exposed. When discussing this matter with the dwarves, it is better to do it openly. Those loudmouths don't know what confidentiality is, and they will start bragging after three glasses of wine. The best ally and only choice is the troops of Stromgarde. I have a very harmonious relationship with Biglas, so I can definitely reach a consensus by selling some of my interests.
At first, Biglas thought Carlos was looking for him to drink and play cards (Gwent), but he found out that Fang Brick was also in the tent, and had used silent enchantment and anti-reconnaissance defense, and then he realized that things were not simple.
Carlos promised to give Bigras one-tenth of the proceeds. Biglas swore to keep the secret in the name of the Bertone family, and the two parties reached a happy agreement.
"But under what pretext should I transfer the Stromgarde cavalry?" Biglas began to worry.
"How about being prepared for the Evil Branch Clan in Zinzaro in the distance to support the Deadwood Clan? You can ask Odrun to volunteer to serve as a security force. Remember to show that you are afraid of losses to the troops but do not want to give up the profit sharing after breaking the city." Carlos helped with ideas.
"Hey! Am I that kind of person? You are slandering my image." Bigras complained, and the soldiers of Stromgarde left the Terminator Fortress that afternoon.
"Uncle Fang Bian, what would you like to do when you have money?" After the arrangements were made, Carlos became interested in chatting.
"Pay off the debt..." Uncle Fang Zhuan stared at Carlos with a resentful look.
"Uh... I won't miss your share." Carlos swore.
